Charlotte Wood

Charlotte Wood is the author of seven novels and three books of non-fiction. Her novel Stone Yard Devotional was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize and other awards. It was described by the UK Guardian as ‘a quiet novel of immense power’ and as 'extraordinary' by Ron Charles at the Washington Post who wrote, 'The fact that “Stone Yard Devotional” not only stays aloft but soars would seem to deny the laws of literary physics.' It has also been praised by authors Anne Enright, Tim Winton, Karen Joy Fowler, Hannah Kent and Paula Hawkins among others. Her previous books include The Luminous Solution, a book of essays on the creative process; the international bestseller, The Weekend; and The Natural Way of Things which won a number of prizes including The Stella Prize and the Prime Minister’s Literary Award. Her features and essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, Literary Hub, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Saturday Paper among other publications.
